1956. What a year ! It is followed by Disneyland opening in Anaheim, California in 1955. June 1956 was exciting , but the real news story was today - August 25, 1956. He was a born natural teacher from an early age. From a great Suffolk Education to a Christian College to a PhD in Chapel Hill, North Carolina to the Big Apple. His dream of working in a corner office of a large well-known corpotationon , McGraw Hill a high floor in New York City comes true.
These words were sung by famous singer, Cory Daye in 2006 and always are reiterated in my mind,
For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
Somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Oooh Someone warm like you
Would make my dream come true .....
Happiness-Yes. Perfection - No, over rated; In love - Yes.. A life beyond my wildest dreams- An outstanding Yes.
To this day, " I love Lucy' is part of our life. The beginning of Rick's 56th year will be celebrated in Lucy's hometown of Jamestown, NY. We are having a ROAD TRIP--- I couldn't think of a better way to spend a day and an evening with the man I love.
Happy Birthday, Husband
Until tomorrow...
